Well boys, it's nearly time. Several months ago I got invited to a friend's family place in central Texas. (And right out of the gate I'll go ahead and say yes it is free-range, no fence, etc.). It'll be my buddy and his 9 year old son and me and my oldest (7 year old) son. Drive out tomorrow, hunt Friday-Monday, and come back next Tuesday. Supposedly we'll be hitting peak of the rut. Weather looks like it'll be nice and cool. I've never hunted out of state, heck I've never deer hunted anywhere other than our little family place here in Bama, so to say I'm excited is an understatement. Looking forward to making some memories with my son and our friends. We're blessed to get to make this hunt, regardless of outcome. I'll keep y'all posted as best as I can. ------11/17 morning Not much to report. Left Bama at 1300 and got to Texarkana at 2300. Saw a bunch of deer including a monster TALL buck outside Memphis. Oh yeah, we stopped at the world famous Rendezvous for supper. I'd been there once like 20 years ago but the others had never even heard of it. They're all fans now. We should make it in today early afternoon - hopefully in time to squeeze in a couple hours-hunt and get the lay of the land. Here's a pic of the boys plowing ribs at the Rendezvous. My boy Eli (on the right) is only 7 and made short work of the large rib plate and all the fixins. He gets his eating honestly.

Youll definitely do that...but I also think a couple of you will shoot some good ones. Where in Texas is it? what town?

From what I understand, this place isn't known for monster racks, but there are a lot of deer there so I'm confident we'll see plenty. Seeing some decent antlers would be nice. Middle of nowhere family land 3+ hours SW of Dallas, and 2 hours NW of Austin.

In Texas monster racks mean big. In central Texas 120 - 140 are pretty common.
I spent a lot of time in my life in Texas or hunting Texas. Great state. Youll have a blast!

Awesome, good luck to you and Eli. Yall mcninja is a great guy and deserves to bring home a stack of antler.
